WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
This research study is designed to test and validate a model that explores how people—especially aspiring and current entrepreneurs—experience and perceive failure, AND how they can learn to recover faster from setbacks!
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
The Survey and Your Report
You'll take a brief 10-minute survey that explores how your emotions, thoughts and behaviors may increase or decrease your chances of failure as an entrepreneur. You'll get a beta version of your report straight to your inbox.
The "What Do You Really Think?" Chat
In your report, under Next Steps, you'll be given a link to book a 1-on-1 debrief where you can receive a free feedback session on your report from an experienced coach and share your honest thoughts and reflections on how you see failure—past or present.
